WBZ TV in Boston reported

that little 8-year-old Martin Richard who was killed in the bomb blast had just jumped out to hug his dad (a runner) as he passed by. The father continued on to finish the race. The boy then ducked back into the crowd when a bomb went off killing him, and severely injuring his mother and sister.

I feel so sick inside.
